Summary: OpenSUSE is inclusive of Microsoft and other companies that attack human rights and enable nationalists; but apparently what bothers OpenSUSE very, very much is the people who started the operating system SUSE is selling
Hours ago Richard Stallman (RMS), the founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), made a statement [1] along with the Board of the FSF [2], as later noted by LWN [3]. Why did the openSUSE Board [4] then decide to reuse a hypocritical statement composed and published 10 days ago? What is there for openSUSE to gain? Nothing.
“With the FSF you at least know what you get; the uncompromising and principled position of RMS isn’t a weakness but a strength.”This video discusses how foolish it was of openSUSE and what it tells us about openSUSE (or who truly controls openSUSE). It has hardly changed for the better since the Microsoft-Novell days.
Don’t Free software communities realise that associating with defamatory hate letters and self-harming campaigns does them a lot of harm and drives away potential volunteers/contributors? Who are they trying to impress? Affluent sponsors like monopolies? Libel is not tolerance.
With the FSF you at least know what you get; the uncompromising and principled position of RMS isn’t a weakness but a strength. Many people have stepped up to support the RMS-supporting FSF lately, some financially. The “open letter in support of Richard Matthew Stallman being reinstated by the Free Software Foundation” is meanwhile approaching 6,260 signatures. Still rising. █
